South Bend Golf Guide

The Golden Dome. Atop the Main Building on the campus of the University of Notre Dame sits the awe-inspiring Golden Dome. Covered in 23.9-karat gold leaf, the Dome features a 19-foot-tall, 4,000-pound statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Overlooking Notre Dame’s campus, the Golden Dome always welcomes students and visitors throughout the year to campus. It also welcomes everyone to The Bend.

Beyond Notre Dame, the Golden Dome looks out onto a destination full of memories just waiting to be made. From adventure seekers looking for thrills to families in need of a weekend getaway, South Bend Mishawaka has plenty of fun and excitement for every visitor. And, if you are looking for a new spot to hit the links, you should try driving the ball around The Bend.

After you tee off, your ball may roll down the broad fairways at Blackthorn Golf Club or its fateful journey may end with a wet landing into one of the water hazards at Elbel Golf Course. Burke Golf Course provides an opportunity for golfers to drive the green with the Golden Dome glistening in background. Another view of the Golden Dome can be had from the links at Warren Golf Course where both the casual golfer can play and, in 2019, professionals will compete in the U.S. Senior Open.

After you sink your putt on the 18th hole, it does not matter what level of golfer you are. South Bend Mishawaka is home to several carefully manicured, gorgeous courses that will provide both a challenge to many and a great round of golf to all.
